It's a big day in Sochi.

Two sports Tuesday make their Olympic debut — slopestyle skiing and women's ski jump — eight gold medals are up for grabs, and Shaun White heads to the halfpipe under massive pressure after pulling out of slopestyle to focus exclusively on the marquee Winter Games event.

Figure skating continues with the first non-team event of the games — pairs take the ice for their short skate at 9:30 a.m. ET — while athletes compete for the medal podium in cross-country, biathlon, speed skating and luge.

Meanwhile, curling and women's hockey continues with more than a dozen games throughout the day. Scroll down for more information on when to watch online or on TV.

American Olympian: Shaun White

4 a.m.: Slopestyle snowboarding fans sad to see the Olympic competition wrap up have a new event to watch: Slopestyle skiing makes its Olympic debut on Tuesday. America's top contender, Maggie Voisin, is out of the Games after hurting herself in training. But Team USA's Devin Logan, Julia Krass, and Keri Herman each made the final. Canadian favorite Kaya Turski, meanwhile, failed to advance. Watch the final women's slopestyle skiing round here.

5 a.m.: Shaun White makes his long awaited Sochi debut on the halfpipe course. The event began with a qualification round, followed by semi-finals at 10 a.m. and the gold medal round at 12:30 p.m. This is the first competition on the Sochi halfpipe course, which has been heavily criticized by athletes. After training, several snowboarders complained that the walls were too vertical, the pipe too narrow and bumps on the bottom hazardous. Workers tried to make adjustments to the course, but had little time to respond to all the rider feedback. Tune in for the qualifier here to see how well these problems were solved.

American men compete against China. If you're following Norway for their flamboyant outfits, or for their curling, tune in to their game against Russia at 5 a.m. Click here for all live matches.
